Agreed, and Cruz calling the questions “silly” is another way of saying Halperin was unprofessional.
Agreed, and Cruz calling the questions “silly” is another way of saying Halperin was unprofessional.I imagine a brilliant lawyer like Ted Cruz doesn't use the word "silly" often except maybe around his little girls; the implied meaning was clear. If Halperin tries it again, Cruz may be forced to add the dreaded "bless his heart", the nuclear option in the language of a southern gentleman, for example:
Today he kindly issued an apology for some silly questions he asked me in an interview, bless his heart.Cruz didn't resort to rudeness while issuing a subtle rebuke. That's what great debaters do best.
